What links the likes of Barcelona, Rome, Jerusalem, Brussels, Lynchburg in Virginia, Sheffield… and Morley? They all – along with many other places around the world – lay claim to having been built on seven hills. In Athens, the septet has glorious names such as Philopappos, Acropolis and Mount Lycabettus, while in Rome you can find places like the Quirinal, Capitoline, and Viminal. Morley, being prosaically Yorkshire, keeps its feet on the ground, and goes for Dawson, Scatcherd, Daisy, Chapel, Hunger, Banks and Troy. Not very romantic, perhaps, but at least they are practical. And so is the town’s coast of arms, which symbolically features the traditional industries on which the borough was founded – coal mining, textiles and quarrying.
